      So...Jill Abramson's book has finally hit bookstore shelves. A few weeks ago, reading a galley copy, I noticed an egregious error about my colleague @adrs. She tweeted it out, a shit storm followed, Abramson corrected the mistake.

      *All three* chapters on Vice were clotted with mistakes. Lots of them. The truth promised in Merchants of Truth was often not true. While trying to corroborate certain claims, I noticed that it also contained...plagiarized passages.

      The following examples from the final book—not the galley—are only from the Vice chapters (I didn’t check the others). So let’s begin...Here is Abramson on Gavin McInnes (whom she interviewed) and the Ryerson Review of Journalism https://rrj.ca/bigot-or-champion-of-truth/ …pic.twitter.com/qroN59gyVk

      This paragraph can be sourced to two places: a *masters thesis* and a 2013 New Yorker piece by Lizzie Widdicombe http://digital.library.ryerson.ca/islandora/object/RULA:598/datastream/OBJ/download/Hiding_in_Delight__Transgression__Irony_And_the_Edge_of_Vice.pdf … https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/04/08/the-bad-boy-brand …pic.twitter.com/tSIKyRoKDP

          This example is from one source--the New Yorker again--though the two sentences are separated by a page. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/04/08/the-bad-boy-brand …pic.twitter.com/m3dnsQaOmv

          There’s lesser stuff too; still problematic. At various points in Merchants of Truth, rather than toil in the archives, reading old issues of the magazine or watching old Vice videos, Abramson liberally borrows from those who have: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/04/08/the-bad-boy-brand …pic.twitter.com/mEvufhFJ3J

          There’s plenty more--enormous factual errors, other cribbed passages, single or unsourced claims--but this should give a sense.

          The book ends with a final wag of the finger, reminding me that my colleagues apparently don’t possess “the expertise to compete on the biggest news stories.” If Abramson is the arbiter of ethics & expertise, I think we’re doing just fine.

          9/ An interesting anecdote about Vice's "Racist Issue". I doubt Jill went through all the issues cuz it's similar to @biggeidea's 2007 Masters Thesis. (Jill cites Bigg's work later in the book for circulation numbers. But not this paragraph.) 🔗http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:I5983KszlkUJ:digital.library.ryerson.ca/islandora/object/RULA:598/datastream/OBJ/download/Hiding_in_Delight__Transgression__Irony_And_the_Edge_of_Vice.pdf … (p.111) pic.twitter.com/BD2Ucp4oxY

          5/ "Images Interculturelles" is in Montreal. Montreal has a large Haitian population. This small error still appears to be in the book. Also highlighted is the passage from Gavin's 2012 book "How to Piss in Public" H/T https://twitter.com/mcmoynihan/status/1084900273846476801?s=19 … pic.twitter.com/y4LDusjmiD
